Thanks for the reply, but can you tell me why this has changed. I have a ispCP 1.0rc2 OMEGA
build: 2007-04-18 Priamos and it is configured thus: ns.somewhere.co.za and I host the box. I configured the server name as [ns] the main controlling domain as (somewhere.co.za) so the primary DNS address is ns.somewhere.co.za and the secondary is goma.saux.net (The ISP who provide me with the access). With them I, requested a PTR or reverse lookup record to be added to there system which is ns.somewhere.co.za

So when I created a domain on the sever all I had to do was request that they add the secondary DNS record to my list under ns.somewhere.co.za and once the record was created I could register the domain and use ns.somewhere.co.za as the primary and goma.saux.net as the secondary dns servers.


This is where my confusion comes in. I now have to call the box srv01.ns.wherever.co.za, or can I leave it as ns.wherever.co.za ( Why must I add the srv01)

When setting up Debian 5 the sever. It requests a sever name, it automatically puts (ns) in do I now replace (ns) with (srv01.ns) and then call the domain (wherever.co.za).

Do I then request my ISP to configure (srv01.ns.wherever.co.za) as a PTR or reverse lookup. And when I register a new domain will the primary DNS now be srv01.ns.wherever.co.za or will it be ns.wherever.co.za

Again thanks for the assistance.
